I saw a tutorial for these nails in company magazine and just had to try them (thanks for the inspo you wonderful bunch!)
the tutorial is a simple one but if you drink a gallon of tea a day like me I'd recommend you do these before the caffeine shakes kick in!
(if you want these to be really perfect you can always paint a set of false nails and stick them on once dry!)
start with a blue base coat (I used illamasqua nobel) use a white nail art pen to draw on cloud shapes.
next draw in a white rainbow shape emerging from the cloud.
use yellow, pink and green stripes for the rainbow and leave to dry.
finish off by outlining it all with a fine brush or black nail art pen!
I did these quite quickly so I'm not 100% happy with them but I love the design, definitely one I'd do for a festival or day out at the seaside!
have you seen the nail art tutorials in company? tempted to try out any of the others?
back soon!

hi gang!
I've been having serious nail art dilemmas this week (well not that serious I mean we're not talking about world peace) but sometimes I get stuck in a rut and need to find some inspiration!
I love all things floral and vintage so I scouted out some lovely old fabrics to give me some ideas for my next nail designs.. aren't they pretty!
with these as my guide I picked out some of my favourite polishes.
I used essie mint candy apple as the base with models own pastel pink, utopia, sophies pink, jade stone and top turquoise for the main design.
after the base coat I dabbed on pastel pink and utopia in a random pattern across the nails. once dry I used a toothpick to draw on darker petal highlights with sophies pink! finish with a few dots of blue/green to suggest petals and you're done!
I hope you like them, I think these are my favourite this month!
